Rep. Roy Slams GOP for Denying his CR Requests

Republicans are not having a jolly good time as the government shutting down becomes a likely possibility. With the election of President-elect Donald Trump (R), it appeared that Republicans were falling in line behind a mandate. However, that doesn't seem to be the case as the GOP faces infighting over the continuing resolution to keep the government open. Texas Rep. Chip Roy (R), who's disappointed in the CR bill, is now criticizing the GOP over denying his requests for the spending bill.

After the election of President-elect Donald Trump (R) and the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Republicans were poised to address government spending and cutting government waste. The present CR bill has divided Republicans with some questioning "conservatives" who claim to support DOGE while supporting the spending bill.

During an appearance on the Glenn Beck Program, Rep. Roy, who routinely airs his frustration with the Republican Party, shared that he had made 3 requests for the spending bill, "but the REPUBLICANS denied all of them."

In an effort to get a more unified GOP membership in the House, Rep. Roy assessed that "we hate this bill. This bill is not great," and his requests were an effort to make the bill more palatable.

His requests included having an agreement from leadership to follow the 72-hour rule to give legislators 72 hours to read the bill; a vote on returning non-defense spending to pre-COVID 2019/2020 levels, which he estimated would save $110 billion; and a ban on selling off parts of the southern border.

Unfortunately, Rep. Roy says, the conference could not agree to add those requests.

"I'm trying to figure out how to navigate what we're talking about here," Rep. Roy told Beck. "This isn't just about leadership being exposed. This is the conference. This is the entire Republican conference. People need to understand that."
